Research Details
Description: This work explores how the spatial distribution and seasonal cycle of monsoon disturbance genesis can be represented by a genesis index based on monthly climatologies of four objectively chosen variables: total column water vapor, low-level absolute vorticity, an approximate measure of convective available potential energy (ECAPE), and mid-level relative humidity.
